Soumillon said: "I'm very embarrassed for English racing today.
You have a lot of problems but the whip is not one of them.
"Jockeys are not here to whip horses, they are here to make the horses do their best and that is what I tried to do.
"We now have padded whips, they are very soft and I hit my horse to make him do his best in the last furlong.
"Unfortunately, maybe I should have hit him before the final marker but the rules have only been in one week.
"I just gave six, I didn't give eight, nine or 10. :yyy::yyy::yyy:
"For a little mistake they give me a five-day suspension and I'm fighting for the title in France, so it is important for my career and they take away all my prize money, around ¢G50,000."
